ARCON 3G MANUAL

MN026015EN October 2020 www.eaton.com

The Extended system consists of one ARC-MAIN-3G and multiple number of ARC

modules. With the Complex System up to 5 Extended systems can be connected via the

MASTERLINK interface.
The Master MAIN has six different areas:

1.  Power connector
2.  LEDs
3.  HMI
4.  Binary Outputs
5.  Measurements
6.  Communication interfaces

The power connector is used to power the Master MAIN itself and all connected

modules on the INTERLINK (RJ45 connector on the top side).
